.SH DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the
.B clp
command.
.PP
.\" TeX users may be more comfortable with the \fB<whatever>\fP and
.\" \fI<whatever>\fP escape sequences to invode bold face and italics, 
.\" respectively.
\fBclp\fP -- interface to the coin linear programming solver. \fBclp\fP
solves the following linear optimization program:

    minimize      c^t x
    such that:    row_lb <= Ax <= row_ub
                  column_lb <= x <= column_ub

.SH OPTIONS
When no options are given clp enters the interactive command line mode.
Otherwise the program enters a batch mode, for which a summary of options is
included below.  For a complete description, see 
.B /usr/share/doc/libclp-doc.
